Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO
Chapter 110 Zhang Miaoyan
CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110 ZHANG MIAOYAN
The girl took the initiative to introduce herself to An Junxi: "Young Madam, my name is Zhang Miaoyan, I work in the HR department of the United States branch, and I came back with Uncle Gu this time."
The Uncle Gu she mentioned, is that probably her father? An Junxi still didn’t know her well. If she was just an ordinary employee, how could she come back with her father and stay in the big house?
But she didn’t ask much face-to-face, so she said, "Miaoyan, just call me by my name, Jun Xi."
Zhang Miaoyan said, "Rules cannot be broken."
An Junxi felt very strange. Zhang Miaoyan had stayed in the United States for many years, so why does she still think like the old times?
Since Zhang Miaoyan was so insistent, An Junxi had no choice. The three of them went downstairs together. Seventh Uncle and Gu Kuangyong had just finished their morning run. Gu Jinxiu was also behind them, sweating profusely from running.
An Junxi went up to greet the elders, "Seventh Uncle, Father, good morning."
"Morning."
An Junxi took a handkerchief to wipe Gu Jinxiu’s sweat, and Gu Jinxiu looked up and asked her, "Mom, why did you and Dad get up so late?"
An Junxi: "..."
Gu Yikun stood beside them as if he hadn’t heard anything, with a smile on his face and looking refreshed.
Seventh Uncle was in good spirits. He looked at them and said, "We ran two laps, and you just got up. Young people these days..."
An Junxi felt very embarrassed. Gu Kuangyong spoke up to help her out, "Are you comfortable staying in this room? Stay a few more days."
An Junxi looked at Gu Yikun, who said, "Stay as long as you like."
An Junxi was happy, "Okay, I will stay a few more days to accompany Seventh Uncle and Father and Mother."
At this moment, Liang Huiyun and Gu Kuangyuan also came down. An Junxi greeted them with a good morning and everyone went to the dining room to sit down. Breakfast was already served on the table.
Seventh Uncle asked Liang Huiyun, "Qian Nuan hasn’t gotten up yet?"
Liang Huiyun said uncomfortably, "Qian Nuan said she’s still jet-lagged, so let her sleep a little longer." It was obvious that she spoiled Gu Qianlan.
Gu Kuangyuan was spreading butter on toast and said after hearing his sister-in-law’s words, "It’s been two days since she came back, and she’s still jet-lagged?"
Liang Huiyun wasn’t pleased and said, "As your sister-in-law, I’ve never expected you to help with household chores. Just take care of yourself and don’t worry about other things."
Liang Huiyun spoke so directly that Gu Kuangyuan sighed and said, "Seventh Uncle, I’m really disliked by the family. It’s my fault that I’m so old and still haven’t gotten married, truly an annoyance to the family."
Seventh Uncle said sternly, "Why say such things? Even if you never get married, our Gu Family can still support you. Who would dare to say a word?"
Gu Kuangyuan smiled and served a bowl of porridge to Seventh Uncle, "Seventh Uncle, you’re the best to me."
Seventh Uncle said kindly, "You know, when your father passed away, he told me the one he worried most about was his youngest daughter."
Liang Huiyun was displeased, "As the eldest sister-in-law, I’ve always let our youngest do whatever she wants over the years. How can you make it sound like I’m bullying her?"
Seventh Uncle said, "Huiyun, I never said you haven’t done well. Everyone knows you’ve worked hard for the Gu Family."
Only then did Liang Huiyun stop talking.
An Junxi had been watching them talk. She found her mother-in-law’s unusual behavior today very strange. Her mother-in-law would never complain in front of everyone. Do she and her sister-in-law not get along normally?
As a junior, An Junxi certainly didn’t dare to say much, merely eating her own food.
Zhang Miaoyan routinely sat at the end of the dining table. She never interjected, and everyone was used to her quietness. Only Gu Kuangyong would notice her and say, "Miaoyan, eat more."
Zhang Miaoyan replied normatively as well, "Thank you, Uncle Gu."
Liang Huiyun’s face turned grim. She looked at her with severe eyes from time to time. Zhang Miaoyan didn’t dare to lift her head, nor did she dare to breathe loudly.
The more An Junxi watched, the stranger it felt.
Seventh Uncle, with his clear insight, seemingly mentioned unintentionally, "Kuang Yongs, today let Miaoyan go back to the headquarters with Yikun to get familiar with the headquarters personnel, and in the future, she can stay there and help out, not going back to the United States."
Zhang Miaoyan’s heart fluttered. She couldn’t help but look at the young master. Could she stay at the headquarters with him in the future?
Gu Kuangyong felt a bit embarrassed, "Seventh Uncle, on the American side..."
"Isn’t Ban Jie quite capable? Let him take over Miaoyan’s work."
Seeing that Seventh Uncle was firm, Gu Kuangyong couldn’t go against his intentions, "Okay, Miaoyan, later go to the company with Yikun’s car. Yikun, arrange a position for her in the HR department."
Gu Yikun responded very calmly, "No problem."
Zhang Miaoyan showed a faint smile.
Listening to this, An Junxi felt uncomfortable. This Zhang Miaoyan seemed to have a very special status!
It was already late after breakfast. An Junxi originally intended to go to work with Gu Yikun’s car. Before going upstairs to shower, Gu Jinxiu said to her, "Mom, can you take me to school?"
An Junxi couldn’t refuse, "Okay, I’ll wait for you downstairs."
Gu Jinxiu ran upstairs.
Gu Kuangyong and Liang Huiyun also went upstairs subsequently, while Gu Kuangyuan and Seventh Uncle went for a walk in the garden. An Junxi sent Gu Yikun to his car.
She helped adjust Gu Yikun’s tie and said, "I’m meeting up with my senior sister to pick out furniture tonight. If you’re working late, can you pick me up later?"
An Junxi knew it was different staying at the big house than at the villa. It didn’t seem right to come back late the second day after she moved in. If Gu Yikun stayed out late with her, it would be different.
Gu Yikun pinched her cheek, "Sure, I’ll be at your service anytime, my dear wife."
An Junxi smiled and said, "Alright, off to work with you."
Gu Yikun stole a kiss on her face before leaving.
An Junxi glanced around, noticing the servants were all watching her. She glared at Gu Yikun’s back in annoyance, couldn’t he be a bit more discreet?
Zhang Miaoyan stood by the car waiting for the young master. She couldn’t believe her eyes seeing the young master’s loving gestures with the young madam.
Since when did the young master become such a tender man?
This was totally different from her impression of the young master.
Gu Yikun walked closer to the car and saw Zhang Miaoyan standing by the door in a daze. He reverted to his usual coolness, "Get in the car."
Zhang Miaoyan quickly stepped aside and then followed him into the car after he got in.
Once she closed the car door, Gu Yikun took out the tablet and started checking emails, his cold profile emanating an icy aura. She smiled bitterly. The young master was still the young master, changing only in front of the young madam, becoming a husband.
She was overthinking.
After waiting for a while without seeing Gu Jinxiu come downstairs, An Junxi took the elevator to the third floor. Although the mansion only had six floors, they were relatively higher than in ordinary buildings, and the area was large, with three stairways, meaning elevators were a must.
When the elevator doors opened, An Junxi made a turn in the corridor and walked a few steps before realizing she was going the wrong way. Just as she was about to turn back, she heard arguing from the room ahead.
The quarrel was deliberately suppressed, but An Junxi still heard it.
She hesitated for a moment, then stepped closer to listen carefully. It was the voices of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
